For some reason, while most sports have never interested me, or most 'geek' types I've known, basketball has always seemed to be an unusual exception to the rule, myself included.

I don't personally follow, or play, team sports. But if I did, it'd absolutely, most certainly, be basketball.

I wonder why that is?

I always loved basketall, since my family loved. I aalso played basketball as a child, since I was always very tall (6"1' at age 13!). I was sometimes good, sometimes bad. Very streaky.

In many ways basketball is more skill and tactic based than something like football, and I suspect that has an influence. I also think bjj is disproportionately popular among programmers for the same reason
